a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Hartford, in the'county of Hartford andy State of Connecticut, have invented certain rovements' in Mops, of

` specification.

This invention relates to mops; j and it has for oneof its objects the provision of a novel "article which is adapted to be used in conjunction with an ordinary house-broom, so

that no especial handle is required for ma-r nipulating the device.

the lower ends ofthe broom fibers project be y yond the lower edges of the `jacket 11, so as 4o to permit the ro er sweeping action of the broom, and, rt ermore, the fringe 10 is shown as extendin for some distance beyond the lower edge of te broom, a feature which recommends itself when the device is to be used for freshening up floors `and to remove .dust.therefro1n, inasmuch as thev extra length of the fringe will be certain-to'cover a path of the entire width of the mop at one sweep. j
